Title: Next West Coast Artist To Blow Up Is...
Post by: West C. Connected on January 14, 2004, 01:08:59 PM
Not Knoc or Roscoe or shit...
Knoc had a big chance, but I really don't think he'll blow up anymore.
I think people are sick of people that hang around with Snoop and Dre.

My guess it's some dude no one here right now knows about.
And he'll probaly suck. :(

That's what I like to see: optimism. ;)

I have faith that Game will blow up. If Dre dares to put half the push behind him that he gave to 50, there's promise there.

N.U.N.E....he's got that radio feel to him and his lyrics are the type where its good enough to be on the radio without being too horrible that he should be kicked off the radio...i hope he's the next to blow cuz im really feelin' him

whoever gets pushed the most is gonna blow up.  we already saw what happened with knoc being pushed by elektra, they pretty much fucked up.  they are gonna have to give like 400% more effort on promoting knoc this time around.  shit anyone even know when his album is supposed to drop?  Is the way I am his first single?


Roscoe didn't blow up cause Priority hasn't really pushed a westcoast rapper in years.  Back in the day rappers signed to priority blew the fuck up, but nowadays Priority barely supports and pushes westcoast rappers.  Roscoe needs to get on a better label if he ever wants to blow up.  Shit especially with songs like Get Ready, Smooth Sailing, shakedown, Trouble.  He just didn't get promoted well.  His album is excellent, especially for the avg rap listener.  He's got radio songs, club songs, party songs, catchy hooks and nice choruses, not too gangsta, not much cussing, and they are good songs.  Ain't like the usual crap that is popular.  Its kinda like Roscoe and Nelly have a sort of similar type of album, except roscoe's is 100x better.  If Roscoe had the amount of support and promotion as Nelly I gaurantee he woulda gone multi-platinum.

the game - I think he is boring, but most people on here seem to really like him.  who knows tho, truth hurts flopped and so did the wash ost.  All depends how much money is put towards promoting him.

I personally have no idea who the next on the west will be to blow up.  But I hope its someone who actually drops a decent album, and not some garbage album that usually blows up.

why do people  asume that if the game or sly boogy blow up, they will revive the west?!

seriously, when 2001 got released by dre, nothing happened, most of yall disagree of course, but if dre did revive the west back then, why isnt on top now!?

look at how the west got on top back in the days

it was a whole fuckin crew, i have much more faith in strong arm steady than in sly boogy or the game, but seriously, even tho i have more faith in them, i dont think they will sell much

only sellers in the west are dre and snoop
snoop turned pop
and dre is controlled by jimmy iovone waay too much

we wont see a revival of the west any time soon

i really think that Knocturnal has a chance a blowin' up....he's good...he's been around for a while...and he's got that Dr. Dre type of style that everyone likes, but with a twist...

plus, his new cd is being dubbed "The Next Chronic" Album....aside from a DJ Quik or Dr. Dre release this year, i think this is going to be the Westcoast album of the year...

i dunno...it's just my opinion....

Knoc: Had his chance.

Roscoe: Needs a push. Has what it takes.

Sly Boogy: Gonna get his chance soon.

The Game: Best chance. Rides with Dre, been shot.

Moss Maja: No. Not even an explanation needed. He just won't.

San Quinn: See Roscoe.

Strong Arm Steady: See Sly Boogy.

Left & Locksmith: Maybe.

F.A.B.: See Roscoe.

Unfortunately I don't think anyone will blow up from the West anytime soon. I mean Knoc's been gettin' radio play and videos with Dre and Snoop in 'em and he still ain't doing anything big.
Title: Re:Next West Coast Artist To Blow Up Is...
Post by: Jome on January 14, 2004, 05:15:36 PM
Knoc-Turn'al & The Game got the biggest chances to blow up.

Can never see Sly Boogy or Crooked I selling more than gold, at best, if they have a huge hit.
They're gonna go the Ras Kass route, they're too raw to cross over.

Roscoe doesn't have what it takes, he's just too anonymous.

without the bullshittin, The Game has the biggest chance out of anyone...i just hope it's not a pyric victory for the west...riding with 50 cent, eminem and g-unit isnt' the way i wanted to see this cat come out

i think Kurupt could blow up with his next release if the production is dope and if hes bringin the dope lyrics again then yea i think he will the net to blow up at least go 1x platinum...
Title: Re:Next West Coast Artist To Blow Up Is...
Post by: BL7 on January 14, 2004, 05:36:10 PM
The Game probably. What's sad, is that this nigga doesn't even sound West Coast. So people still won't be checking for our shit, whether he blows up or not.
Title: Re:Next West Coast Artist To Blow Up Is...
Post by: Kill on January 15, 2004, 12:21:22 AM
I think The Game's a rather average MC, nothing wack, but IMO he kinda lackas a unique style that most rappers who really blew up in the past had. But since he's with Dre he prolly does have a chance of blowin up, but he might as well end up like Knoc, Hittman or Truth Hurts. Still he's most likely to blow up, especially if Dre ain't gonna neglect him

Roscoe'd definitely need better promotion, but he'd have potential, he got a dope west coast style flow, he ain't too ruff and he could definitely make a good radio-friendly hit, I always thought a song like "It's That Time Again" could get some serious airplay if it got promoted well

Knoc had his chance, I don't think he's really gonna blow up anymore, I hoped he would like 2 years ago, but in '04...naw

Sly Boogie might get a chance too, but I'm not sure bout that

But even if one of them blew up I don't think west coast rap would really blow up. The most successful artists to ride with Dre since he founded Aftermath, Em and 50, ain't even from the west. The days the west was on top are over and I don't think one artist blowin up will get us a real revival even tho it'd improve the situation. I don't see the west on top of things in the next few years

yep, but its kinda sad if he's blowing up because of his ties and not his skills.... or people gonna see his face on tv all day long and they will end up liking him... and even if an artist blows up, its gonna help him, not the whole coast. that doesnt change the situation cause it takes more than 1 or 2 rappers. and they should be able to do that on their own anyway, with help from their labels, not dr dre or snoop dogg

The Game
(And hopefully IV Life)

Post by: goldeneyeoutlaw on January 15, 2004, 06:27:56 AM
I think "Game", "Knoc" and "E-White" have good chances of blowing up.

Also, don't forget about "Daz". From all the things I'm hearing about Daz's new album on So So Def, he's gonna have the production (Daz and JD), the guest appearances and promotion to do big thangs.

Jus what I'm sayin. I'm coo with The Game blowin up if he does, but he definitely ain't the artist who deserves to most. But bein realistic ties are hella important. Outta the MC's who are at least a bit likely to get sum fame I'd like to see Roscoe most...he's a typical west coast MC and surely one of the better ones

What about all them other up and comin artists like Dr. Stank, Sixx John, 40-Glocc, Ecay Uno, Jacka, Scipio etc....
Title: Re:Next West Coast Artist To Blow Up Is...
Post by: T-Dogg on January 15, 2004, 08:08:18 AM
Realistically thinking, I think there's just two guys from the west who could blow up: Knoc & The Game. Knoc has a smaller chance, but he already has his foot in the door. His name already got some exposure in the mainstream with The Knoc video. Of course his chance would've been much bigger if he had released an album when he was originally planning to.

The Game's got the better chances of the two. He may not be the best to come out for a while, but he sure has talent. What makes his chances better though is the fact that he's on a major major major label. Of course having Dre tutoring you and producing for you doesn't hurt either. But the fact that he's on a major mainstream label is the biggest thing. Many other cats sure got the quality, but as long as the labels ain't listening they're not gonna blow up.

Crooked I could blow up too if he could secure a deal from another label than Death Row. I think it's safe to say his record ain't ever coming out on that label.

Swollen Members are supposed to be releasing a commercial album this year on Battleaxe/Virgin records, it will have full promotion in the US/Canada.  If they get half the support in the US they do in Canada, they'll be HUGE.

yeah, all those you mentioned are pretty good...I mean Sixx John or Scipio  are dope, but they have not ties, thats why people dont know them. Im sure they could be on roc-a-fella easily, as far as skills goes. Compare him to a Freeway, they're on the same level, but freeway is known across the globe and sixx john on dubcc & by the people who know him personally
